How to Stream Final Fantasy VII (7) Remake

Relive A Timeless Classic

Join Cloud and the gang as you bring balance to the world once again in Final Fantasy VII (7) Remake once again. To get the maximum quality for your Final Fantasy VII Remake stream to Twitch, Mixer, YouTube or Facebook, you’ll need a streaming PC with some specific hardware. We’ll cover different hardware options as well as software to help you get to broadcasting Final Fantasy 7 as soon as possible.

If you’re brand new to the streaming PC scene then you may also want to check out our PC Buying Guide. It explains each component that goes into a PC build and the choices you’ll want to make, beyond what we will cover in this post. We highly recommend reading the PC Buying Guide, especially if you are going to build a custom streaming PC.

Required Streaming Components

PlayStation 4

Since Final Fantasy VII Remake is a PlayStation exclusive title, you’ll need a PS4 or PS4 Pro to play the game. While all versions of the PS4 can play Final Fantasy VII Remake, The PS4 Pro will deliver the highest quality output for your stream.

You’re going to need the game obviously. You can purchase it physically or digitally from the PlayStation Store.

Capture Card

You will want a 4K capture card to capture the full resolution of the PlayStation 4 Pro.

Capture cards come in two form factors, internal and external. Internal capture cards are ideal for most configurations as they connect directly to the motherboard of the streaming PC with virtually no latency. External capture cards connect to the PC through USB making them more portable and easy to install. If you plan on switching which PC you use to stream often, or you are streaming from a laptop, then we recommend using an external capture card.

If all this seems daunting then give us a call at 1-888-MAINGEAR, or start a chat with us using the chat bubble in the lower right corner of this page. We’d be happy to help you get the perfect PC just for you!

Recommended Streaming Software

Streamlabs

Streamlabs isn’t the only option though. Many streamers prefer the default OBS or StreamElements. There are plenty of options to fulfill your specific streaming needs.

How To Stream Final Fantasy VII (7) Remake

If you’ve gathered all of the required hardware and software mentioned above, then you’re ready to stream! Follow this step by step guide to get set up in no time flat.

1. Connect Peripherals to PC

The first step is to connect all of your hardware so that you are ready to stream. Set up you PC as you normally would, connecting monitor, keyboard, mouse, webcams, mics, etc. If you are using an external capture card, connect it to the back of the PC using the provided USB cable (NOTE: Make sure to use a USB 3.0 port. These ports are often blue). If you are using an internal capture card then proceed to the next step.

2. Set Up Capture Card

Plug the HDMI cable that came with the PS4 into your PS4 and the HDMI IN port on the capture card. Connect the HDMI cable that came with your capture card into the HDMI OUT port on the capture card and the display (montior/TV) you will use to play the game.

We recommend that you use two displays when streaming from the PS4. The first display connected to your PC (usually off to the side) for displaying streaming software and stream chat, and the second for playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

3. Choose A Streaming Platform

You’ll need to choose a streaming platform to stream your chill island lifestyle to all your followers. Twitch, Mixer, YouTube and Facebook Gaming are all great options. Pick your favorite!

If you can’t decide on just one, then you can use Restream to broadcast to multiple channels, but this adds complexity to your set up and isn’t recommended for first time streamers.

4. Set Up Streamlabs OBS

MAINGEAR recommends using Streamlabs OBS for it’s ease of use and quality stream templates. If you haven’t done so, download it here.

After launching Streamlabs OBS, you will be prompted to login to your streaming account, then assign your devices and do a network test. Follow the steps in the wizard and you’ll be ready to hit go live!

If you’d like to tweak your settings even more then follow this guide by Streamlabs.
